Quote from Chandler

Chandler: We'll make a list. "Rachel and Julie: Pros and Cons." We'll put their names in bold with different fonts and I can use different colors for each column.
Ross: Can't we just use a pen?
Chandler: No, Amish boy.

Quote from Joey

Monica: There are no jobs. There are no jobs for me.
Joey: Oh, wait, here's one.Would you be willing to cook naked?
Monica: There's an ad for a naked chef?
Joey: No, but if you're willing to cook naked, then you might be willing to dance naked and then-

Quote from Monica

Monica: My gosh, you must be freezing. You know what you need? How about a nice, steaming cup of hot Mockolate?

Quote from Monica

Phoebe: Rachel, does this end well or do we need to get tissues?
Rachel: Oh, it ended very well.
Monica: Do not start without me. Do not start without me.

Quote from Phoebe

Rachel: Ross kissed me.
Monica: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Rachel: It was unbelievable!
Monica: Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Oh, my God.
Phoebe: Okay, we want to hear everything. Monica, get the wine and unplug the phone.

Quote from Joey

Monica: Wait a minute. I thought last night was great.
Ross: Yeah, it was. But I get home and I see Julie's saline solution on my night table and I think, "Oh my God! What am I doing?" Here I am with Julie, this incredible, great woman who I care about and who cares about me and I'm, like, what am I just going to throw all that away?
Joey: You got all that from saline solution?

Quote from Monica

Monica: How about Mockolate mousse?
Phoebe: It's not very Thanksgiving-y.
Monica: How about Pilgrim Mockolate mousse?
Phoebe: What makes it Pilgrim?
Monica: We'll put buckles on it.

Quote from Rachel

Rachel: Why didn't he call? He's gonna stay with Julie, isn't he? He's gonna stay with her and she's gonna be all: [high-pitched voice] "Hi, I'm Julie. Ross picked me. And we're gonna get married and have lots of kids and dig up stuff together!"
Phoebe: No offense, but that sounds nothing like her.

Quote from Chandler

Joey: Let's start with the cons because they're more fun. Rachel first.
Ross: I don't know. I mean. All right, I guess you can say she's a little spoiled sometimes.
Joey: You could say that.
Ross: I guess, sometimes she's a little ditzy, you know? And I've seen her be a little too into her looks. Oh, and Julie and I have a lot in common because we're both paleontologists, right? But Rachel's just a waitress.
Chandler: Waitress. Got it. You guys want to play Doom? Or we could keep doing this.
